There is another 5 hrs left but at 2.30am I have decided to call it a night. It is not like I have nothing to do tomorrow, lol I have Rave Number 2. I will post a video tomorrow as it has been so long since I have had to do at least 5 takes to make a short clip. By the time I post it my enthusiasm has completely vanished from the video. read more
Today is and it is my first as a fair dinkum Aussie. I finally managed to pull the video from Picasso of me getting my certificate and I quickly knocked together an iMovie using the free software that came with my mac. I am not going to explain what is as i have done that every year since I have been here. read more
This is me on my 1st day back from the xmas break, all happy and excited to hit the ground running, that changed within a few hours of being in the office but I will not talk about that here. The reason I am so red is that we do not have air con in the lift and I was trying to hold the iPhone whilst feeling myself getting hotter and hotter. I am hoping my next post will be the one when I announce I am finally an uncle. read more
I am loving the new Manchester City website, there are still a few bugs to be ironed out and for some reason there is no mobile version released yet but I would expect that to follow very shortly. It actually took me until the next day to realise there was no adds because I run addblocker so I do not see adds anyway. On that note, I just installed adblocker on my iPhone - oh yeah :)Happy to see my dad is still on the site and he even has a nice little blurb about him which ... read more
I have not updated this site in a long time, over two months actually. Foxtel (Australia version of SKY) are treating the viewers this EPL season to viewers choice. If 5 live games per weekendwere not enough, this year if we are not happy with the 3pm choice we can hit the red button and select from another 4 games!!!. read more

We launched 3 new versions of Lonely Planet websites , over 1500 pages of new code. They all launched successfully and we celebrated by having a few bottles of champagne in the office. And what did I miss? Calling my grandparents to wish them a happy anniversary at there party. read more
The next day the weather rose all the way to 110 Degrees, very very hot, when you walked down the street the hot wind blew into you as if you were walking into an oven. On New Years Day I met Ben Spier and who was playing Summerdayze and chilled out there with Artist Guest Passes. We were on the main stage with Fatboy Slim, Roger Sanchez and Tall Paul in front of 15,000 people!! read more
December is usually a lucky month for me when I everything I touch turns to gold. I double up on my football bets and win, I can pick games from South America with teams I have never heard of and still win. However, this month everything electrical is breaking, my Sony laptop, iPhone, iPod and I am crossing my fingers that my plasma does not decide to join the rest of his broken down compatriots. read more
I managed to hurt my foot last Thursday by walking into a metal door stopper as I was getting ready for work, I limped off to work like a brave solider going to war and when I came home I took my sock off and found my foot covered in blood. I have however managed to add another item to my never-ending growing medical supply , Antiseptic Liquid Spray for those injuries that you just can not touch. Spring has arrived and we have moved the clocks forward so people in... read more
I was woken up at 4am on Saturday morning and when I looked out my window I saw a selection of lorries and diggers who were using the back of my car park as the meeting point and were exchanging loads. Later on when I got on the train to the city to get my hair cut I discovered what all the noise was, they had dug up the to improve the track and the beeps were all the diggers reversing. They had decided to use the nature trail which leads from my car ... read more
